Offside rule changed after Cancelo's goal against WBA

[eyalluvitt]

United got a game-winning penalty while the Brighton players were playing hide the soap in the changing room showers. And yet we are the bad guys??????

Sky Sports aren’t happy.

that pic is a good 2 seconds after the ball was played, making it look like he was miles offside

They pretty much all stopped when the flag went up surely? Including the goalie although I doubt he'd have got to it anyway. Of course the 'advantage' was gifted to us by WBA who didn't seem aware of the (unwritten) rule that you play to the whistle.

The defender inbetween Cancelo and the ball definitely stopped. He also definitely stopped for another one of ours as well.

Since when did you play to the flag and not to the whistle? And surely a professional footballer knows to play on regardless due to VAR.. Any player that stopped is an idiot. nothing wrong in the slightest with the goal.

Sian Massey is a good liner but she got this one wrong.

I think she realised right away too, as she was clearly talking to Kavanagh right as soon as we scored the goal.

Feel sorry for Sian. What with the Aguero incident and now last night we can't be her favourite club.

Both of these events remind me of teams that moan that they weren't ready when they get done by a quick free kick. Tough shit.

The directives they've given the liners over offside is shit. They're effectively doing ins and outs only now. May as well ask someone's dad like at kids football

So a goal that wasnt offside (as was proved) would have been disallowed and you'd be happy about that?!

It wouldn’t have reached the stage of the ball being put in the net.

We were always told “These decisions even themselves out over the course of the season”
When they were going against us when we were shit,
Nowadays they change the rules!
